Karl Krahl (also Carl Krahl , born on May 5, 1819 in Dresden ; died on December 1, 1891 in Vienna ) was a German-Austrian genealogist and heraldist .

Krahl was born the son of a shoemaker in Dresden. From 1841 to 1846 he studied surgery and obstetrics at the University of Vienna , in 1847 he graduated with a master's degree in surgery and took a position as a general practitioner in Stetten . According to other sources, he became a surgeon in neighboring Bisamberg . In 1848 he married Barbara Kolarz, the widow of the court coat of arms painter Josef Stein, took over his business and gave up his medical position.

He was a court coat of arms painter, coat of arms censor and chancellery coat of arms painter of the Royal Hungarian Ministry on Allerh. Court camp in Vienna. In 1870 he co-founded the heraldic-genealogical society "Adler" in Vienna. He made a contribution to enhancing heraldic taste and heraldic art in Austria. He collected valuable heraldic originals, documents, art objects and created a coat of arms catalog with 150,000 entries.

Krahl was a member of the central committee of the Austrian Tourist Club and its librarian. Together with Anton von Ruthner and Hans Hauenschild , he played a major role in the development of the Dead Mountains . In 1875, he had a natural rock cave below the Brotfallscharte fitted with cladding including a door, as well as benches and mattresses, and it was designed as the first mountaineering accommodation on the climb to the Großer Priel . The small refuge, built in 1884 on the Obere Polsteralm, was named after him, the Karl Krahl refuge. It was the forerunner of the Prielschutzhaus .

Krahl's nephew Ernst August Krahl was also a heraldist.
